TIL that the woman who accused 14 y.o. Emmett Till of flirting with her admitted that she lied 62 years later. Till was brutally lynched by the woman’s husband and his cousin based on her accusation. Images of his mutilated body are credited with sparking the Civil Rights movement.

But women never lie when they accuse, right guys?

Shame a boy was brutally murdered because of her lies. I'd say I hope she lived a life full of misery, but I doubt she ever suffered for her actions.

Similar story: in Duluth, MN, in 1920, a female student at the University of Minnesota in Duluth falsely accused three black men, workers with a visiting circus, of rape. They were detained, but were broken out of their cell by a lynch mob and hanged right in downtown Duluth.

There's a memorial for them at the corner where it happened, and is the first memorial in the US for lynched black men. Ironically it's located not far from the home of the Duluth Model.

White women hysterically accusing black men of rape was actually a huge issue in the past. It's a really dark and sad history that's been largely forgotten.

Obscene.

This movement should really take up where the civil rights movement was derailed by white rich girl feminism as part of its cannon.

She has said that Roy Bryant, whom she later divorced, was physically abusive to her.

“The circumstances under which she told the story were coercive,” Dr. Tyson said.

The false accusation may be sixty years old, but something has remained the same.

Even if he really had flirted with her that wouldn't have justified lynching anyone.

The logical -- and sought-for -- outcome of "Listen and believe."

Too bad that half of the 'manosphere' is too racist to give a damn about this.

edit Maybe I exaggerate. Certainly I don't mean MensRights.
